I am working on a blog post for Autism Day/Month. We want to encourage volunteers and others to learn more about Autism and support families of autistic individuals. I know there's sensitivity around this subject – as with writing about any special need (I have a daughter with special needs) – and I know there's differing feelings among families about what organizations best support those with Autism. I also know there's a little bit of discussion between whether the focus of the month should be "awareness" versus "appreciation." If you are or know of a family with individuals with autism, would you be willing to share your input with us?
